Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting market research for the Freedom Connection Natural Gas Pipeline project in Puerto Rico. The effort will ultimately be a design‑bid‑build contract to construct a roughly 4.2‑mile, 20‑inch diameter pipeline supplying the Palo Seco Power Plant, including all material procurement, site work, trenchless and open‑trench installation, facility construction, testing, commissioning, and site restoration. Respondents must submit a 10‑page capability statement demonstrating experience with similar natural‑gas pipeline projects, trenchless technologies, and large‑scale civil construction.
• Scope includes procurement of long‑lead pipe, valves, fittings, and instrumentation, plus full construction and commissioning of the pipeline and associated valve/pig stations.
• Estimated construction value $25 M–$100 M; performance period 365 days from notice to proceed; award anticipated FY 2027 Q2.
• Target respondents are small‑business classifications (HUBZone, 8(a), SDVOSB, etc.) and must provide bonding capacity, corporate data, and up to three comparable project references.
